Dumb Dating Habits Even Smart People Do

So, you’re about to go on a date. Don’t make these mistakes, advises author Chad Eastham

What not to do

Being desperate. "It’s unattractive." writes Eastham. "Simply put. But people do it all the time. It’s the “Help me, I need to know if this guy (or girl) likes me and why he (or she) won’t ask me out right now!” kind of thing. Dating isn’t a game, but when you make it obvious how much you want to be in a relationship you’re just asking for some unhealthy person to start playing with your emotions. Good relationships don’t come out of desperation. Just be your awesome self and keep pursuing those things that are uniquely you – that’s when a good relationship can start."
